"She's still alive."
Heilig sat in the room with his fingers crossed on his forehead. His brows were furrowed and his eyes were tightly shut.
"Accept reality! He's already dead. As a Hunter, don't you have that kind of awareness? "Niu Yi shouted from the other side of the table.
"Ribbon. Her magic ribbon didn't come back. That's the best proof. She's definitely still alive."
Heilig opened his eyes. He still had hope.
However, Niu Yi felt that this wasn't advisable.
"Magic can also go wrong. My old comrade, you should face reality. That's a height of three thousand meters and your opponent is a Scarlet Blade Demon. Even you might not be able to deal with it."
There were many dangerous Mantis Demons in the second layer of the Sky's Edge. Even experienced old hunters would try their best to avoid fighting with those terrifying Mantis Demons. And this Red Blade Demon was one of those Mantis Demons. Unless it was necessary, no one would provoke this guy.
Niu Yi sighed inwardly as she looked at the depressed Heilig. He was currently the best Hunter. He was able to reach the depths of the World's Edge where others couldn't. He had investigated the direction of the Hybrid Demon invasion several times.
Suddenly, Niu Yi straightened her back and looked at Heilig with a serious expression, "Hunter Heilig, heed my orders!"
When Heilig heard this, he suddenly raised his head as if he had sensed something.
"What?"
"Right now, we have a very important mission for you. This mission involves the safety of many people. You are our best candidate. We hope that you can accept this mission." Niu Yi took out a map. This was a map that had been passed down from generation to generation. It was a map of the World's Edge, the distribution of the Hybrid Demons, and some secret passages.
Heilig stood up. The Stairway to Heaven was not only the passage to the second layer, but it was also an important line of defense and a second brain. The Hunters working on the Stairway to Heaven would gather information from other Hunters and analyze the situation of the second layer. This would allow them to predict when and where the next Hybrid Demon invasion would begin. At the same time, they would also study the weaknesses of the Hybrid Demons and provide help to the Hunters.
The important missions that the Stairway to Heaven would send out would either be to encounter a new type of Hybrid Demon or a possible Hybrid Demon invasion in the near future.
"What mission?"
Heilig asked.
"According to the latest news, we suspect that this Scarlet Blade Demon incident wasn't a coincidence. It's very likely that it was due to the Hybrid Demon invasion. Therefore, we hope that you can investigate the borders of the Heart of Distortion. "
As he spoke, two people walked over with a box.
Hearing this, Helig was shocked.
…
Destroying an empire was easy for the Demon King, but conquering it was not so easy.
However, the Demon King Richard did not seem to need either. He was purely destroying and plundering. Thousands of elite soldiers marched very quickly. Neither the Eagle Regiment nor the Empire could send an army to encircle and annihilate them.
They specifically chose small and medium-sized towns and villages. They only had one goal, and that was people.
Wherever they went, the population would plummet. When the Eagle Corps and the Empire arrived, they would only see an empty city with less than one-sixth of the population left. They used different methods. Sometimes they played the good guys, other times they played the role of bandits. They even pretended to be imperial soldiers or falcons to give false orders to cause panic among the citizens and force them to leave the city and head west to Eibron's territory.
There was no doubt that Eibron had something to do with it.
The Eagle Regiment sent out troops to attack the western border. At the same time, the Empire also sent out troops to prevent Eibron from betraying the Empire.
However, something strange happened. The general sent out by the Eagle Regiment died mysteriously on the way, disrupting the Empire's progress. The Aueran Empire also suffered a new round of attacks from the eagles and had no choice but to retreat. However, Kingsley VII ordered Eibron to send reinforcements. Otherwise, he would be considered a traitor and be stripped of his title and suppressed by the army.
The document was sent to Eibron, who was quite distressed. He already had enough problems. What would he do if the Empire sent reinforcements?
The western border wasn't as prosperous as it was rumored to be. It was a barren place with poor soil and poor transportation. Only then did the people who came here realize they had been tricked. They didn't have enough food to send them back, and there was free food. A group of people who called themselves Wussen Empire would appear punctually in the morning, noon, and night. They would come in carriages and bring delicious food.
When they left, they would take with them those who were willing to go to Wussen Empire. They learned that as long as they worked hard, they didn't have to worry about food. It was also far away from war.
Many people were skeptical, but there were still many who chose to take a gamble and got on the bus. After all, more and more people were coming, and there was a fixed amount of food each time. If this went on, there would definitely be people who wouldn't get any food.
The more attentive people also noticed that different people got on different carriages. This wasn't random, but rather a pattern. It was related to their status and work. The carriages were divided into three types. They were all the same, but the colors were different. They were grey, blue, and white. Some craftsmen and artisans would sit in the blue carriages, while ordinary workers would sit in the grey carriages. As for the white carriages, most of them were literate or knew a bit of magic.
A new day came, and a new batch of refugees arrived. Every day, large numbers of refugees poured into the western border.
"Qu Feng! Look, isn't that Silla City? "
Among the refugees, an old man suddenly pointed to the front.
Behind him, a young man in a robe raised his head. His face was pale and his lips were cracked.
"Ah, yes, Master."
Qu Feng said indifferently. His eyes were dazed as he looked at the small city in the distance. In front of them were countless other refugees who had fled here. As they walked, the two of them were drowned in the sea of people. They moved forward like ants, but every one of them looked listless.
For wandering artists, they would occasionally walk for an entire day to make a living, but walking day and night like this was too much for them.
By the time they reached Silla City, the two had no energy left to walk.
However, the first feeling they got from this place was utter disappointment.
Having been to many cities, they could tell at a glance that this was a desolate city. The buildings were dilapidated, and from the height of the buildings, they could see the development of the city. Apart from Count Eiblon's mansion, there wasn't a single decent building. The streets were filled with refugees like them, which meant the city couldn't hold so many people.
Had they been tricked?
